Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your families and New Year celebrations. As the new year has just begun and winds up again for those heading back to work, some kids overseas are heading back to school where as Aussie kids still have a few weeks till they return to school.

I'm still writing and moving along with 'Forever Young' it's coming together quite well and I hope to finish it this year as one of my New Years resolutions. How have you gone with your New Years resolutions? Have you started yet? Its not too late to start now.
